Design Your Future with Intention: Second 50 Life Design Starts 9 February 2026
Are you ready to stop drifting into your next chapter and start intentionally designing it?
Our Second 50 years are a wonderful time to pause, reflect, and realign your life around what truly matters to you.
We are thrilled to be running another Second 50 Life Design community program, kicking off on Monday, February 9, 2026. This transformational 12-week journey is co-created with Gill McLaren, a valued member of our Second 50 community, and a global expert in authentic life design.
Unlike most coaching that targets just one area of your life, Gill uses a whole-of-life, whole-of-self approach, which shows you how to integrate all parts of who you are, with you at the centre, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
“Such a powerful investment of time and thought with a great bunch of women who only want the best for each other.” - 2025 participant
“I feel very, very blessed to have had this opportunity.” - 2025 participant
A Transformative 12-Week Journey
Over 12 weeks, Gill will guide our intimate cohort step-by-step through her proven Think.Plan.Live. methodology. You will move beyond simple reflection to create a personalised, practical Life Integration Plan that is aligned with your unique values, strengths, energy, and situation.
The program is designed to be spacious and supportive. We know that real change requires more than just listening to lectures, so the pace and structure give you the room to reflect deeply, try things out, learn from other wonderful women, and truly integrate what you discover into your daily life.
“For any woman who wants to feel fully alive and in mastery of their own way of being, this is the course for you. Its value is immeasurable.” - 2025 participant
“Realising that my triggers weren’t random, they are my values being crossed, was life changing.” - 2025 participant
Program Inclusions and Structure
The pace and design of this intimate hybrid program provide the space and structure needed for deep reflection without pressure. The experience includes:
6 Live Zoom Workshops: These 90-minute sessions with Gill provide expert guidance and deep interaction. They are recorded if you cannot attend live.
Accountability Trios: Peer support is a core part of this experience. You will be matched with a trio for guided connection and reflection, or you can sign up with friends. Past participants have called their trio the heartbeat of the experience.
Self-Paced Lessons: Weekly lessons with short videos, prompts, and tools will be drip-fed to guide you and keep you on track.
Gill's Audiobook and Workbook: You will receive a copy of Gill's Think.Plan.Live. audiobook and a PDF workbook to support your learning.
“My trio is the heartbeat of this experience. Live connection makes the learning come alive.” - 2025 participant
